it's got to be a "good" one though. airtight. they've just got to make sure that all of their bases are covered. i'm not entirely sure what those bases would be specifically. pugly would probably know a few of the areas to look at for weaknesses / strengths. they obviously intend to release themselves from any liabilities, and i dont think that's incredibly difficult to put into a waiver, as you alluded to. those are some of the most basic legally binding documents you'll come across.

i used to have people sign waivers before i took them on kayaking tours. i wish i still had one around to reference for the thread.

amusing, given that you sign your life over with such a simple form, yet if you want to buy or sell something complicated you'll end up signing and initialing hundreds of papers
